Many thanks for sharing this, Cadell.
Let me take a moment to introduce Cadell Last to this list. I had a great conversation with him yesterday. We shared many insights and visions and much complementary knowledge that I found to be very exciting and energizing. I encourage those who are interested to check out his site, here<https://cadelllast.com/>. Here is his youtube<https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAdvancedApes>, where I found his 30 brief bio very helpful and striking in its similarities to my own journey. I also found his Zizek series Less than Nothing absolutely brilliant (at least the first three sessions). I am looking forward to diving into the Hegel Series.
Welcome to the TOK List, Cadell, and many thanks for this announcement and your brilliant work in helping folks understand where we are and where we might go.
Best,
Gregg

Subject: Fwd: [ECCO] Our special issue "Complexity and Evolution": CFP
My PhD supervisor and department are organising a call for papers that may be of interest to some of you:
Please distribute:
Tomas, Olaf and I, supported by Daniela Flores, will be editing a special issue of the open-access journal "Entropy" (impact factor 2.5) on the subject of "Complexity and Evolution". We invite everyone to submit a paper. The full Call for Papers with instructions for authors is here:

Theme:
The understanding of evolutionary processes is one the most important issues of scientific enquiry of this century. Scientific thinking in twentieth century witnessed the overwhelming power of the evolutionary paradigm. It not only solidified the foundations of diverse areas such as cell biology, ecology, and economics, but also fostered the development of several mathematical and computational tools to model and simulate how evolutionary processes take place.
Besides the application of the evolutionary paradigm and the discovery of the evolutionary features for diverse processes, there is another interesting aspect which touches upon the emergence of novel evolutionary processes. Generally, the emergence of an evolutionary process requires a complex transition between a prior form where no evolutionary process is undergoing and a posterior form where the evolutionary process has been triggered. Most advanced methods to understand the emergence of evolutionary processes require the consideration of systemic features such as self-organization, resilience, and contextuality, among others.
In order to address the multiple facets of evolution, it is necessary to propose and apply methods that on the one hand incorporate recent advances in the modeling of complex systems, and on the other hand leverage both the increasing modeling power as well as growth and integration of databases associated with evolutionary processes. We welcome interdisciplinary articles that aim to advance our understanding of the role played by complexity in the evolution of natural and artificial processes. We welcome articles related to any of these topics:
Biological evolution;
Cognitive evolution;
Social evolution;
Evolutionary processes of artificial systems;
The emergence of evolutionary processes;
Novel methods to study the structural properties of evolutionary processes.
